ONLY TWO OTHER players since 1983 have enjoyed a night like Anthony Davis did on Sunday as the New Orleans Pelicans beat the Detroit Pistons 111-106.
The 24-year-old, who can play as both a power forward or center, hit 59 points and pulled down no fewer than 20 rebounds.
Going 24 of 34 from the floor, Davis hit his only two three-point attempts and nine of his 10 free-throws to join Shaquille O’Neal and Chris Webber as the only NBA players with 50 points and 20 rebounds in the last 33 years.
